Still in BAHRAIN!

We were all set to leave on Friday as planned. Arrived at the airport, checked in and went to Immigration. We were told, firmly, that we would not be leaving Bahrain- our residency visa had expired. Now, wouldn't you think that they would make us leave the country? No, instead, they cancelled our flights, returned our bags and told us to handle at the Immigration Office on Sunday. UGH. Today, Chris has his office people working on this issue and we hope to be on the 9:30 flight tonight--In SHallah (God willing!) This doesn't effect our arrival in the States but cuts short our time in Amsterdam. Only in Bahrain--and it feels quite weird not being allowed to leave....a feeling I don't like. We are all fine, but antsy, and will see many of you in a few days. personal note to Judy: we are arriving with 4 large suitcases!!
